Realizing that there are situations in which dogs or cats run loose without any fault of their masters, for example when a child opens the door and a dog inadvertently slips out, and wishing to gain the cooperation of the public in enforcing the leash law, the city's enforcement agent is hereby authorized to issue at his discretion a warning for an offense committed under § 130-003 if circumstances warrant a warning rather than a citation.
